Elka Soloist 505

via this auction
"A monophonic lead preset synthesizer by elka similar to the moog satellite arp pro soloist it has 11 presets that can be changed with cutoff resonance attack release vibrato portamento and wow (filter envelope) for a full description and sound example go to the very in depth review on http://www.till-kopper.de/elka_solist505.html it has the famous moog ladder filter probably came out before moog caught up with companies and clamped down on it. Really nice action keys, fully functioning and quite rare. This is a pretty heavy item and can be collected if desired from welwyn garden city or stanstead abbots in herts."

Update via Qwave in the comments: "See here for the hidden Moog filter:
http://till-kopper.de/elka_solist505.html

But don't expect Moog sounds from this. But it is not bad for a organ company."

Yamaha GS-1

"An improvised quick tour of the Yamaha GS-1. Sorry for all the blabbering :) I also forgot to mention the EQ which is pretty basic bass/mid/treble.

The GS1 has eight operators per voice but these are arranged as four modulator/carrier pairs. The sound "strips" have settings for four operators on each side, so you can mix the different presets.

Moogtonium Documentation Discovered in Bob's Archives

via The Bob Moog Foundation

"As you all know by now, one of our three projects is preserving and protecting Bob's extensive archives. The archives are full of various mediums, but today we focus on letters and schematics that have given way to an exciting discovery about a little known instrument that Bob worked on in 1966.

Visit our website to read the full article on this amazing discovery.

We recently uncovered a stack of letters, notes and schematics describing Bob's work on a version of a Mixture-Trautonium, which he and the musician-collaborator Max Brand deemed the "Moogtonium". You can read much more about this fascinating instrument in a blog post written by Michelle Moog-Koussa, Brian Kehew and Clemens Hausch.

You can hear the sounds of this instrument on the newly release album "Kabelbrand: Sounds from the Max Brand Synthesizer", with compositions by musicians devoted to Brand's musical legacy and by Max Brand himself. We are offering this CD as a gift with a $30 donation to the Bob Moog Foundation. Get your copy today."

You might remember the Max Brand synthesizer from this post and this event featuring the system back in November of 2009. Also see this performance by Oskar Sala on the original Trautonium. As always, you can find additional posts via the labels below. Do not miss the full Bob Moog Foundation article on the Moogtonium.
